Xbox One

Over at Team Xecuter they have posted news of the release of Kodi for the Xbox One:

We all here at MaxConsole, remember the glory days of original Xbox console modding, the main thing to install after you got it flashed or modded was a new dashboard like EvoX or AvaLaunch, and then of course right away installing XBMP with all its plugins, and now the joy of those days can be re-lived on the Xbox One console, as Microsoft surprising enough has helped the Kodi Team to port it over to UWP format and its now rolling out across the world on the Xbox One Store, with Europeans getting the first dibs!

Kodi is a very capable player that’s highly expandable thanks to third-party add-ons like live TV and DVR services — something Microsoft isn’t going to provide. But Kodi is perhaps best known as the go to app for piracy due to a wide variety of plugins that let you illegally stream television shows, professional sports, and films from the comfort of your living room. This has led to a cottage industry of so-called "Kodi boxes," often built around cheap HDMI dongles like Amazon's Fire TV sticks. While the XBMC Foundation has attempted to distance itself from the illegal third-party plugins, it's also benefited from the exposure.
In a blog post, Kodi warns that the Xbox One download isn’t finished and may contain missing features and bugs. Here are a few known limitations as of today:

There’s limited access to only part of your Video and Music folders.

Network support is limited to NFS:// shares.

There’s no access to attached storage or to the Blu-ray drive.

There might be problems with some add-ons.

Kodi began life as XBMC (Xbox Media Center), or XBMP (Xbox Media Player) if you want to track back to the original incarnation that ran on hacked first-generation Xbox consoles — a capable PC with high-end graphics that Microsoft sold at a loss in order to gain an industry foothold back in the early noughts. So really, it's only fitting that Kodi should return to the roost.

Once downloaded, to install Retrix on your Xbox One, you need to switch your console over to developer mode, this is the most complex step, you can either follow this guide by Team Pegasus, or spend an one-time fee of $19 to Microsoft.

Enjoy! Retrix supports the local game for two players, and all credit goes to Albertofustonini to create and maintain the Retrix project.

Like the title says Xbox News is Now our Home to Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Original Xbox, we have now condensed our 3 sites that cater for Xbox Consoles into a one stop website for any news concerning these consoles, as with all our plans at DCEmu, we hope to start afresh in 2017,

Maybe you've been holding out on getting an Xbox One all this time because your subconscious has been waiting for this bundle. Whatever your reason is, this package is worth checking out if you've been looking to get both a 1TB version of the console and Tom Clancy's The Division when it finally drops. You can pre-order right now from the Microsoft Store, Amazon, Best Buy or GameStop if you're in the US or Canada for US$400.

A lot of retailers plan to release the pack on the same day the survival shooter game arrives (March 8th), but some might ship it out as early as March 1st. Best Buy's product page, for instance, lists 03/01/2016 as the release date. Ditto for some other locations around the world where the bundle will also be sold. If you're in the US, though, you'll get a really nice bonus for pre-ordering: the bundle will give you early access to the long-awaited title's closed beta, which is slated to launch on January 28th.

The exact number of Xbox Ones sold worldwide remains a mystery, but we now know that it is in excess of 18m units.GameSpot reports that a reporter on ZDnet heard from sources that new stat gathering for Windows 10 revealed that 18m Xbox One consoles are ‘active’.Microsoft later confirmed to ZDnet that ‘active’ refers to any machine that has been turned on and connected to the internet within the 28 prior days. Along with 18m Xbox Ones, the same period also saw 180m active Windows 10 PCs and 1m Windows 10 phones.How many Xbox One owners can realistically be expected to turn on their machines every month is another question, but it’s certainly reasonable to assume that the actual sales number is quite a bit higher than 18m.Microsoft hasn’t revealed any concrete sales data for its machine since announcing that it hadshipped nearly 10m consoles back in November 2014. It then said late last year that it would no longer report Xbox One numbers.Sony said last week that it has now sold 35.9m PS4s.

Last week there was a great deal for the PlayStation 4, bundling remastered versions of God of War 3, The Last of Us, and the Uncharted games with a new console. The whole thing was going for less than £300, too. Very much a good deal. Though, one of the criticisms I had of it was, while all good games, every game bundled with the machine was originally released for the last generation.This Xbox One deal, while providing fewer games, does at least show what this generation is capable of, packaging an Xbox One with Black Ops 3 and Halo 5. All for £309.You can check it out in detail over on http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0184CL6IU

Microsoft has said that combined Xbox One and Xbox 360 shipments for its fiscal Q1 were down 17 per cent year-on-year.The company hasn’t revealed the actual sales figure, though did say the decline was mainly due to falling sales of the older Xbox 360 platform.In the same period last year Microsoft reported Xbox sales of 2.4m units, so a 17 per cent decline – on the presumption it refers to unit sales – would point to sales this time of around 2m for the period.In July Sony reported 3m PS4 unit sales for its Q1. At that stage global PS4 sales stood at 25.3m. The last time Microsoft revealed an Xbox One shipment number was back in November 2014, when it stood at 10m.However, it’s certainly true that both systems are tracking well ahead of their predecessors,especially in the US. Both Xbox One and PS4 have had UK price cuts recently, in June and this week respectively.There was big growth with Xbox Live. The service now has 39m active monthly users, up 28 per cent year-on-year and pushing Xbox Live revenues up 17 per cent. Game revenue soared 66 per cent thanks to the acquisition of Minecraft.Microsoft’s overall revenue fell 12 per cent from $23.2bn last year to $20.4bn. Net income was up two per cent at $4.6bn. Revenues at its ‘More Personal Computing’ division, which is home to Xbox, fell from $11.2bn to $9.3bn. Operating income fell from $1.62bn to $1.56bn.Interestingly, the company told Game Informer that it “will not be using console shipments as its primary metric for success beginning with this quarter” and that the company “is more focused on engagement, leading it to choose Xbox Live usership as its leading statistic”.
